Many lawyers claim to have a 100% approval rate. Is this reliable?

When it comes to visas, especially in the case of the EB-2 NIW, it is very important to have a realistic and careful outlook regarding approval guarantees. The EB-2 NIW is a visa that requires proof of exceptional abilities and that the applicant’s work brings significant benefits to the United States.

Because of this, many factors – ranging from the documentation submitted to the consular officer’s interpretation – influence the final approval decision. Saying there is a 100% approval rate can be a marketing tactic that, in practice, does not consider the complexity and inherent variations in each case.

Immigration law is dynamic and constantly subject to updates and interpretations that can affect the individual analysis of applications. The nature of immigration processes, with multiple documents and evaluated criteria, makes it impossible to offer a total guarantee of outcome.

For this reason, it is wise to be cautious with promises that seem to oversimplify such complex procedures. It is essential to strictly follow the United States immigration laws and seek advice from professionals or companies with proven experience in the field.

However, even with specialized assistance, there is no way to guarantee the outcome of a visa application, as each application is unique and evaluated based on individual merit and the documentation submitted. Avoiding scams and proposals that ensure miraculous results is essential to prevent unpleasant surprises and future complications.

Therefore, the recommendation is to always verify the reputation, experience, and records of the professionals involved in your process, maintaining a cautious and well-informed stance about the real variables that can influence the immigration decision. In this way, you will be better prepared to face the challenges of the process and understand that both high approval rates have their nuances and absolute guarantees, which in practice, do not exist.
